Udo Pohl
Udo W. Pohl (born August 14, 1955 in Düsseldorf, Germany) is a German physicist and was Professor at the Technical University of Berlin. His work on semiconductor physics focuses on quantum dots.
Education and career
Pohl received his physics education from the RWTH Aachen University, Germany, the Free University of Berlin and the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. There he received his PhD in 1988 in the field of optical spectroscopy of Transition metal impurities in II-VI semiconductors;[1][2][3][4] examiners were Hans-Eckhart Gumlich and Daniel Curie.
In 1989 Pohl became head of the "Materials Lab" at the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Technical University of Berlin (since 2004 Center of Nanophotonics, with Dieter Bimberg as CEO). Pohl coordinated the installation of a modernen semiconductor process technology, the installation of equipment for the precise fabrication of crystalline semiconductot structures, and the installation of a high performance x-ray difractometry. In addition to basic studies on growth of semiconductor layers [5][6][7][8][9][10] his scientific work focuses particularly on the structural and optical properties of quantum dots based on II-VI[11][12][13] and III-V[14][15][16][17] compound semiconductors. Using active GaAs-based III-V-quantum dots, novel devices[18] such as lasers[19][20][21] and single-photon emitters[22][23] could be realised at the Institute of Solid State Physics with his involvement.
In 1999 Pohl qualified as a professor with works on epitaxy (crystalline layer growth) of semiconductors. In 2009 he was appointed adjunct professor for experimental physics at Technical University of Berlin.
In 2013 Pohl published the first edition of the textbook Epitaxy of Semiconductors. With Karl Wolfgang Boer he wrote the handbook Semiconductor Physics, the first edition published in 2018. He additionally authored 13 book chapters, over 200 journal articles on optical and structural properties of semiconductors, and 3 Patents. Pohl is co-editor of the Springer Series in Materials Science.
Pohl is member of the German Physical Society, has given keynote addresses at international conferences, and participated in their program committees. Besides his activities in physics Pohl is member of the supervisory board of the Pumacy Technologies AG and is trustee of the foundation Intakt Umweltstiftung.
